Miniature Circuit Breaker for RCM / EM Communication Circuits
The Siemens 5SL6010-6MF is a 1+N pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) with a B tripping characteristic, rated at 10 A and 6 kA breaking capacity at 230 V AC. It is specifically described for use in measuring RCM (Residual Current Monitoring) and EM (Energy Management) communication applications, per the official description. The 1+N pole configuration switches both the line and neutral, with overcurrent protection only on the line pole. This is typical for single-phase circuits where the neutral is switched but not protected.
The 5SL6010-6MF has an active lifecycle status (current production) per Siemens, so it remains a standard catalog item. No end-of-life notice or successor order code has been issued. RoHS compliance is confirmed since 30 April 2022.
Panel Integration and Sourcing
The 5SL6010-6MF is a DIN-rail mounted MCB with packaging dimensions of 90 x 18 x 80 mm (L x W x H). The 18 mm width per pole (1+N = 18 mm total) is the standard modular spacing for Siemens 5SL series breakers, fitting directly into any 35 mm DIN rail enclosure. Product class B indicates a return-restricted item — confirm with your Siemens partner before initiating a return. This is typical for custom-configured or special-order electrical distribution components.
